Well, i have pocd so trust me i can feel your suffering and all your feeling right now, i know is not the same but something i do is telling me that my thoughts is only that THOUGHTS that can't define me, all got that thoughts just van u see a girl or boy who you find pretty dont make u a gay or bi, there is nothing bad about it youre just appreciating beauty! And if u got groinal response believe me is something normal, is part of the ocd, if you feel guilty and deeply in yourself know that you dont like de opposite sex is cause u got ocd, youre not gay or bi, is just your ocd

One or two days before I started school I was at a concert and I had a false attraction and wanted to cry but my suggestion is to surround yourself with some friends amd try to focus on something else I know its hard buut I tried to focus on something else like I invited my bffs in my house and started listening to music chatting with my long distanced friends and dancing.Also,I love singing and thats something that distracts me,so so something that you love,listen to your favourite song,watch your favourite movie and etc.It was hard for me too and I had many panic attacks but I tried to focus on things,I was crying at the beginning but then I relaxed a little bit.Dont give up,Its normal to have some downs when you are recovering Its a part of the process.You will get better,I promise.You are stronger❤️

Also I know I'm not suppose to say this cause I can be reported on here but I really want to crawl into a hole and die. Every time I have a ounce of happiness it is ripped away from me and im back where I began.

i don't know if this will help, but when i get overwhelmed with scary thoughts i try to sing a song in my head so i have something positive to focus on. another thing is practicing breathing exercises that my therapist taught me, you can probably search online and find something that works best for you:)

Just curious, how does the false attraction feel to you? I believe people say they are different. I’m not reassuring, just interested in other peoples experiences. Mine feels like my chest is crushed with anxiety, when I notice a good looking male, it feels like I’ve just missed being hit in the car (that fear sensation). I feel sick after the thoughts. I also feel my face screw up which may be a compulsion which I’m trying to stop.

I was scrolling on insta and I saw a post of a kid, I felt a sense of attraction, idk if it was false or not. I hope it was, I got worried and the kid kept popping up in my head, I kept trying to stop it because I can’t stand not doing anything and feeling attracted, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, im fucking tired of having to deal with all of this every day. I can’t tell if it is real or false attraction, all of this is so annoying, I can’t even listen to music properly without feelings of attraction showing up. I’m not able to tell if it’s false attraction or not anymore at all, it feels way to real to know, I keep hoping that it’s all false, and I hope that I have pocd not actual pedophilia because I was never disgnosed, I was also exposed to porn at a young age, and I’m worried it causes pedophilia. Please help me with these attraction feelings I can’t tell if they’re real or not anymore. I can’t even tell if I’m distressed, panicked, disgusted, or shamed. I don’t feel any of those feelings anymore, idk why, idk how to deal with this stuff anymore, I don’t even know if I have ocd or not, I’ve only ever gotten one short diagnoses that said I have ocd but I lied on 2 questions about feeling arousal which I do, idk why, and the other about liking the thoughts, which I said I didn’t, but in reality I don’t know if I do or not. Also only certain kids trigger the attraction feeling, it makes me worried I’m a pedo because it’s only certain kids that cause it, kind of like a “type” (edited)

I feel like I want to be lesbian. I want to cry. I gave into compulsions and I went on lesbian TikTok. It feels like something I want to try and do and that I’d be happier. Why is it so real. I don’t want to be lesbian but I feel like I’m pushing down the truth. How do I stop giving into these compulsions and feel better, I can’t do this anymore. I don’t even remember being straight or liking men. I hate this.
